Page 2 Twenty Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time - Respect Life Sunday October 2, 2011 PREACHING FOR LIFE God plants a vineyard. He labors from sun-up to sun-down to make it fertile. We’re told he turns the soil clears the land of stones and plants only the choicest vines (that’s us!). But what happens when the crop comes in? Are there big luscious plump and juicy grapes, overflowing with sweetness and beauty? No. The grapes are small and bitter and hard. These vines did not hear the fruit for which they were planted. Is that how God sometimes looks on us as a nation? He led our ancestors here from every continent and corner of the earth. Through their hands he cleared the land and planted what promised to he a bountiful harvest a veritable cornucopia of justice and truth and equality. God planted in the United States of America a single nation which, even on its currency recognizes that unity comes only from him and virtue only from following his ways. But when harvest time comes what will God reap in this American vineyard? Will it be the grapes of justice? Will this harvest include babies saved from abortion, the treasured old man and the invaluable life of the woman who is deathly sick? Will this harvest include a Church who loves the poor, the broken, the forgotten and those whom everyone else would throw away? Will this harvest include an army of those who preach, proclaim and live the Gospel of life? Or when the fullness of time comes, will God reap a sickly harvest in this vast nation? Will he find the bodies of those whom we have killed despite their innocence and executed because of their crimes. Will he find the sad lives of those whom we have forgotten or neglected and the lifeless bodies of those who died from the loneliness of a forgotten old age or the deadliness of sicknesses we didn’t think worth treating? Will he reap a vineyard of apathy, selfishness and consumeristic narcissism? What will God find when he returns to this vineyard? Only we can tell. Let us recommit ourselves today to tending the Lord's vineyard, beginning with our own little parcel. Let us read, and pray, and study and live the Gospel of Life that we may grow rich in grace and abundant in God's holy life. Along with Saint Paul, let us have no fear. Rather, let us abide in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and which will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Whatever is true, let us embrace it and live! Whatever is honorable, let us embrace it and live! Whatever is just let us embrace it and live! Whatever is pure, let us embrace it and live! Let us embrace and live the Gospel of Life, that the harvest God finds in this blessed nation at the end of time may be rich, and faithful, and true!

It will conclude at 8:00 am on Saturday, October 8th. Each of us is called to be a steward of God’s vineyard. If we lose sight of who owns the vineyard, however, we can get into trouble. If we start to think that we are our own Lord and Master, we may forget that obedience to God — the Master of all — is the only true way to achieve success, which for us is eternal life.

Information can be found in the narthex after Mass. Book Club Next month’s book: The Hiding Place Corrie ten Boom was a woman admired the world over for her courage, her forgiveness, and her memorable faith. Her family risked their lives to help Jews escape the Nazis, and was sent to the concentration camps. But she survived and was released--as a result of a clerical error-and now shares the story of how faith triumphs over evil. Now releasing in a thirty-fifth anniversary edition for a new generation of readers, The Hiding Place tells the riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of the death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. Living Rosary Children Faith Formation is sponsoring a Living Rosary, led by current third graders.

This group will be made up of six sessions. Our most demand for a meeting comes from daytime, so that is where we will start. The schedule will be as follows: Tuesday, October 4 Tuesday, October 11 Tuesday, October 18 Tuesday, October 25 Tuesday, November Tuesday, November 8 All sessions take place are from 9am -11am I n the Ministry Center Chapel During these six meetings, it will be a time for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one to come forward to tell your story. It is important to remember that yes feelings can be similar but never the same. No two people will ever feel the same because every circumstance is different. Topics to be covered are: Being Open to the Presence of Your Loss, Dispelling the Misconceptions about Grief, Embracing the Uniqueness of Your Grief, Exploring Your Feelings of Loss, Recognizing you are not crazy, Understanding the Six Needs of Mourning, Nurturing Yourself, Reaching our for Help, Seeking Reconciliation, Not Resolution, and Appreciating Your Transformation. This journey of grief support will help you to be on your way to heal, not to forget, but to heal. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me in the Ministry Center office by phone (X3020) or by email at [email protected]. Attendance at all six sessions is not mandatory, so please do not let that deter you from joining our group. An evening session for grief support will start up in November. Day and time to be announced. Also, before Thanksgiving, we will have a session on “Grief through the Holidays”. This is especially for those who have lost a loved one in the past year and are still going through the “firsts” that come with that. If you are interested in attending, please feel free to contact me. This is free of charge, but I do need a count for the purpose of materials. Vince Zaprzal Pastoral Associate Priest: All: October 2, 2011 The Lord be with you.

Vocation comes from a Latin word meaning “calling”. Usually when we hear the word vocation, we think only of priests and religious. However, every single person in the world is called by God to love and serve Him. There are four types of vocations: priesthood, religious life, marriage and single life. All of these vocations are ways in which we reach heaven. The key to finding our vocation is prayer. Our world is full of distractions—TV, internet, cell phones, texting, IPods, commercials, Twitter, etc. Very few people take the time to pray in silence every day because we might be afraid silence. We encounter God and who we really are in the eyes of God in the silence and this might frighten us. However, it is in this silence that the Lord speaks directly to our hearts. So if your heart is restless and you are trying to find your way in life, take time to pray. Find a church or adoration chapel and take some time in silence with the Lord. Other recommendations include attending daily Mass, going to confession, reading the Gospels, praying the rosary, finding a spiritual director, reading the spiritual classics and hanging around good people who support your faith life. If you are thinking about priesthood or the religious life, I would encourage you to take part in some of the events we offer in the Diocese of Joliet. You are not alone in searching for your calling by God. To learn more about vocations, check out vocations.com Be sure to watch Catholicism, a beautiful and powerful new documentary on Catholic faith over four consecutive Thursdays (8 PM) or Sundays (4 PM) beginning on October 13th. Never before has the Catholic Church been portrayed on TV in such an inspiring and sweeping manner! Join with Fr. Robert Barron (a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago) on a journey through time and across our globe as he explains and celebrates the origins, beliefs and impact of the Catholicism in our world. Also, please tell others about this special TV event. Invite neighbors, co-workers, family and friends to share in this exciting and sweeping look at Catholic faith.
